5 Directions: Complete each problem showing all work. You must show work or explain your solution in order to receive credit for the answer. Write an algebraic expression for each phrase. 1. The sum of x and 5 Hint: Sum means addition minus p Hint: Minus means subtraction 3. The quotient of 7 and x Hint: Quotient means division 4. A number divided by four is twelve Hint: Write as an equation with division 5. Three times a number decreased by five Hint: First multiplication than subtraction Simplify each expression Hint for 6-7: (PEMDAS) Parentheses first, then Exponents, Multiply and Divide from left to right, Add and Subtract from left to right (4 6) 6 Evaluate each expression for x = 3, y = 4, and z = 1 Hint for 8-11: Substitute (plug in) each given value for the given variable and evaluate using order of operations (PEMDAS). 8. 3(x + 4) 9. 2z 4y 10. 2x 2 + 3z 11. x(z+4) y 2

6 Name the set(s) of numbers to which each number belongs. (Natural, Whole, Integers, Rational, Irrational, Real). Hint for 12-14: Natural Numbers = 1,2,3,4 ; Whole Numbers = 0,1,2,3 ; Integers = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3 ; Rational Numbers = Any number that you can write in the form a, where a and b b are integers and b 0.; Irrational Numbers = Numbers that can t be expressed in the form a, where a and b b are integers. Real Numbers = Any number that is rational or irrational (Each number will have more than one answer) Find each absolute value. Hint for 15-16: The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from 0 on a number line. It will always come out of the absolute value brackets as a positive

7 Simplify Hint for 17-23: For addition, if the signs are the same take the sum and keep the sign the same. If the signs the different take the difference and keep the sign of the larger For subtraction, change any double signs for example, ( ) = +, and use the sign in front of each number to follow adding rules ( 9) ( 10.3) ( 3 2 ) ( 5) Evaluate each expression for x = 2.5 Hint for 24-25: Substitute (plug in) each given value for the given variable and solve x x Evaluate each expression for x=2, y=-3 Hint for 26-28: Substitute (plug in) each given value for the given variable and evaluate using order of operations (PEMDAS). The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from 0 on a number line. It will always come out of the absolute value brackets as a positive. 26. x y 27. 2x y 28. y 2x

8 Simplify each expression Hint for Same sign the answer will be positive. Different signs the answer will be negative (-5) (-4) Evaluate each expression for x = -4, y = 3, z = 6 Hint for 32-34: Substitute (plug in) each given value for the given variable and evaluate using order of operations (PEMDAS) 32. xy-z 33. 2xz + 3y 34. (3x + 2y) z Simplify each expression Hint for 35-40: An expression is in simplest form when all parentheses have been distributed and all common terms (like families) are combined (t 4) (5x 10) v v 2-13v x 2(3x 4) 39. 7(2x + 3y) + 5(2x + 8y) 40. 4(x 2 + 3x 6)

9 Graph the points on the coordinate plane 41. A (-3, 4) Hint for 41-42: The first number is your x-coordinate and the second number is your y-coordinate. 42. C (0, 4) In which quadrant would you find each point? 43. (5, 2) Hint for 43-44: Quadrant I is in the top right corner of the coordinate plane and the remaining quadrants go in sequential order counter-clockwise. 44. (-4, -3)

10 Directions: Solve for x. 45. x + 15 = 32 Hint: Solve by doing the inverse operation of addition. 46. ½(x+3)=10 Hint: Solve by multiplying by the reciprocal (OR distribute) then inverse operation of addition x = 48 Hint: Solve by doing the inverse operation of multiplication x 5 = 19 Hint: Isolate the variable, undo subtraction first, then undo multiplication x + 12 = 24 Hint: Isolate the variable, undo addition first, then undo multiplication. 50. x 8 12 = 8 Hint: Isolate the variable, undo subtraction first, then undo division.

11 Solve each portion for the given variable. Hint for #51-56 (Use cross multiplication Use distributive property when necessary). 51. x m a 2 2 h b 4 b c 1 4 c 2 7 Find each percent/part. Hint for #57-60 (Solve using a proportion or the percent equation) 57. What percent of 75 is 15? 58. What percent of 32 is 40? 59. What is 25% of 144? 60. What is 63% of 150?

12 Using Your Graphing Calculator The graphing calculator is a useful tool that will be utilized often in Algebra 1. Lets start by exploring the calculator, and how much your input makes a difference! 1. Type the following into the calculator: and record the output. 2. Now type: (-3 + 7) 2 and record the output. What changed? 3. Your calculator can also change (sometimes scary) decimals into fractions. For example, when computing the expression in problem 1 above, your calculator should have told you the answer was.5 which we know to be ½. Your calculator can tell you this. Type in the problem again and solve it. Once the output is.5 click MATH Enter Enter to convert this answer into a fraction. 4. Use the information in part 3 to convert the following expressions into a decimal, and then a simplified fraction using your calculator: a. 5 x 88 6 b. 8 9 x 3 c. (9 + 5) 6 5. Play around with your calculator. Write down one other cool thing you find that it does.
